galahs and Pippin

[leelastarsky]

Here's a vid of our visiting galahs (whom we've now named Molly and Arthur), but also listen to Pippin chattering in the background. You'll hear him say, "Where's my Annie? Gone to school!" and sing the 'Happy, happy, joy, joy' song, as well as "Luna" "beautiful, beautiful" "Hello!" and lots of kissy noises. :~) 
Because Pippin loves the camera so much, it's been impossible to catch him talking with it!  So here, we're focussed on something else completely and you get to hear some of his chatter.   XD

Aww, poor baby. Is he very old? I taught my first budgie to talk by taking him into my bedroom every night (back when I was single!) and talking to him in the dark (so there were no distractions for him). He learnt to talk really quickly.

I did a similar thing with Pippin, except I cheated and recorded myself saying 'pretty boy!' and put it on my iPod. Then played it to him overnight for several nights, very low. Once he got 'pretty boy' everything else he's just picked up himself! :~)

i don't know how old he is, but he's not THAT old... maybe 2 or 3 years? He lives outside on the porch, and my mom doesn't want him in the room... oh well lol

I loves him any ways. :/
